TECHNICAL FIELD

Aspects of this document relate generally to an extendable electricaloutlet enclosure.

BACKGROUND

Electrical outlet enclosures are used to contain an electrical outletand its wiring. Electrical enclosures help to keep the outlet free ofwater, direct, and other contaminants. In addition, the electricalenclosure provides a layer of separation between electrical wiring andthe materials surrounding the electrical outlet. This reduces the riskof fire or electrical shock as a result of contact with the electricalwiring. However, in each situation in which an outlet is used, there maybe differing amounts of electrical wiring that need to be containedwithin the electrical enclosure. A need exists for electrical outletenclosures that are extendable to accommodate different amounts ofwiring while still providing the benefits of an electrical outletenclosure expressed above.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

This document features an extendable electrical outlet enclosure. Thereare many features of an electrical enclosure and method implementationsdisclosed herein, of which one, a plurality, or all features or stepsmay be used in any particular implementation.

In the following description, reference is made to the accompanyingdrawings which form a part hereof, and which show by way of illustrationpossible implementations. It is to be understood that otherimplementations may be utilized, and structural, as well as procedural,changes may be made without departing from the scope of this document.As a matter of convenience, various components will be described usingexemplary materials, sizes, shapes, dimensions, and the like. However,this document is not limited to the stated examples and otherconfigurations are possible and within the teachings of the presentdisclosure. As will become apparent, changes may be made in the functionand/or arrangement of any of the elements described in the disclosedexemplary implementations without departing from the spirit and scope ofthis disclosure.

FIG. 1 depicts a top perspective view of a non-limiting implementationof an extendable electrical outlet enclosure 10. The extendableelectrical outlet enclosure 10 is designed to be modular so that adifferent size extendable electrical enclosure 10 can be implemented ineach new situation, depending on the needs of the particular outlet andits location and installation. FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of theelectrical enclosure 10 of FIG. 1 . In the implementation shown, theelectrical enclosure 10 comprises a main body 12, a bezel 14, a cap 16,at least one extension tube 18, and a back plate 20. These maincomponents of the electrical enclosure 10 are configured to align andcouple with the bezel 14 and cap 16 connected to a first end 22 of themain body 12 and the at least one extension tube 18 connected to asecond end 24 of the main body 12. The back plate 20 is then connectedto the at least one extension tube 18. Inside of the main body, anelectrical device 27 can be coupled to the main body 12 at an electricaldevice support 28. Each of the individual components may be coupled withthe adjacent component using one or more screws 31.

FIG. 3A shows a side view of the electrical enclosure 10 of FIGS. 1 and2 . The main body 12 has a first end 22 and a second end 24 that isopposite the first end 22. In addition, the main body 12 has a wall 26that extends between the first end 22 and the second end 24. FIG. 3Bshows a top view of the electrical enclosure 10 with the cap 16 inplace. The cap 16 functions to obscure a view of the electrical device27 when the electrical device 27 is not in use by covering an opening 29of the main body 12. FIG. 3C shows a bottom view of the electricalenclosure 10.

FIG. 4 depicts a cross-sectional view of the electrical enclosure 10taken along the section line 4-4 shown in FIG. 3A, and FIG. 2 depicts anexploded view. The main body 12 may have a bezel support 25 at the firstend 22 of the main body 12. The bezel support 25 extends radiallyoutward from the first end 22 and provides a surface to which the bezel14 is configured to attach, surrounding the opening 29 at the first end22 of the main body 12. The cap 16 is configured to removably mount tothe bezel 14, thus covering the opening 29 when the electrical device 27is not in use. An electrical device support 28 extends radially inwardfrom the wall 26 towards the center line of the main body 12. Theelectrical device support 28 defines a separation between an electricalplug section 30 and a wiring section 32. The electrical plug section 30is adjacent to the first end 22, while the wiring section 32 is adjacentto the second end 24. When an electrical device 27 has been installedwithin the electrical enclosure 10, an electrical plug can be coupledwith the electrical device 27 through the electrical plug section 30.Power may be supplied to the electrical device 27 through wiring that iscoupled with the electrical device 27 through the wiring section 32. Themain body 12 may have at least one screw boss 34 connected to the wall26 at the second end 24 (shown in FIG. 2 ).

The at least one extension tube 18 may be one extension tube, twoextension tubes, or more than two extension tubes. Each of the at leastone extension tube 18 has an outer wall 36 extending between a leadingend 38 and a trailing end 40. The leading end 38 may have at least oneleading screw boss 42 connected to the outer wall 36 and accessible atthe leading end 38. The trailing end 40 may have at least one trailingscrew boss 44 connected to the outer wall 36 and accessible at thetrailing end 40. The at least one leading screw boss 42 may beconfigured to align and couple with the least one screw boss 34 of themain body 12 using a screw 31.

The back plate 20 may be the same shape as the cross section of thetubular main body 12 and the at least one extension 18. The back plate20 may have at least one cord receiver aperture 46 extendingtherethrough (see also FIG. 5 ). Alternatively, the back plate 20 mayhave no cord receiver aperture (see FIG. 6 ), or exactly two cordreceiver apertures 46 (see FIG. 6 ). The at least one cord receiveraperture 46 is configured to allow wiring to extend from the electricalenclosure 10. The back plate 20 may also have at least one mountingscrew aperture 48 extending therethrough. The at least one mountingscrew aperture 48 is configured to align with the at least one trailingboss 44 of the at least one extension tube 18.

In implementations having more than one extension tube 18, the leadingscrew boss 42 of the first extension tube 18 is configured andpositioned to align and couple with the at least one screw boss 34 ofthe main body 12. The leading screw boss 42 of each succeeding extensiontube 18 is configured and positioned to align and couple with the atleast one trailing screw boss 44 of the preceding extension tube 18. Theat least one mounting screw aperture 48 of the back plate 20 isconfigured and positioned to align and couple with the at least onetrailing screw boss 44 of the last extension tube 18. For example, in animplementation with two extension tubes, the at least one leading screwboss 42 of the first extension tube 18 is configured to align and couplewith the at least one screw boss 34 of the main body 12, the at leastone leading screw boss 42 of the second extension tube 18 is configuredto align and couple with the at least one trailing screw boss 44 of thefirst extension tube 18, and the at least one mounting screw aperture 48of the back plate 20 is configured to align and couple with the at leastone trailing screw boss 44 of the second extension tube 18. Insituations where more wiring is attached to the electrical device 27, itis beneficial to have more extension tubes 18 because this creates morespace within the electrical enclosure 10 to hold the wiring. Therefore,each specific situation will determine the number of extension tubes 18that could be used beneficially.

FIG. 7 depicts a perspective bottom view of the electrical enclosure ofFIG. 1 with the back 20 plate removed, showing the internalconfiguration of an assembled electrical enclosure 10. In theimplementation shown, each extension tube 18 has leading screw bosses 42that are out of alignment with the trailing screw bosses 44 of the sameextension tube 18. This allows easier access to the leading screw bosses42 with a tool when the electrical enclosure 10 is assembled.

In a particular use example, an electrical outlet enclosure 10 forin-floor installation is to be installed into a floor. In a firstinstallation, the floor is shallow, for example, framed with only 2×4studs or to be formed with a shallow concrete pour, and an installerdoes not have a lot of room to install the electrical outlet enclosure10. In this first situation, the installer uses only the main body 12,bezel 14, cap 16, the back plate 20 with cord receiver apertures 46, andat least one screw 31 to attach the back plate 20 to the at least onescrew boss 34 of the main body 12. In a second installation, the flooris a little deeper and more space is needed within the electrical outletenclosure 10, for example framed with 2×6 studs or to be formed with adeeper concrete pour. In this second situation, the installer could usethe main body 12, bezel 14, cap 16, a first extension tube 18, the backplate 20 with cord receiver apertures 46, and a screw 31 to attach theextension tube 18 leading screw boss 42 to the screw boss 34 of the mainbody 12, and a screw 31 to attach the back plate 20 to the trailingscrew boss 44 of the extension tube. In a third installation, forexample, the floor is deep and an installer has plenty of room forwhatever depth of the electrical outlet enclosure 10 the installerdesires. In this third situation, the installer could use the main body12, bezel 14, cap 16, two or more extension tubes 18, the back plate 20with cord receiver apertures 46, and the screws 31 to attach theextension tubes 18 leading screw boss 42 to the screw boss 34 of themain body 12 and to the trailing screw boss 44 of the extension tube(s)respectively, and a screw 31 to attach the back plate 20 to the trailingscrew boss 44 of the extension tube. Although the embodimentsillustrated show only two extension tubes 18, and it is currentlycontemplated that most products sold will include two extension tubes18, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that oneor more extension tubes 18 may be used and in particular installations,it may be desirable to use three or even four or more extension tubes 18for an installation, attaching them to each other to form the electricaloutlet enclosure 10 as the first two are attached and described herein.
